O’ the joys of kicking back in your recliner enjoying that game or movie anticipating the next great…zzzzzzz. Now that’s a good recliner! The kind that is so comfortable that it’s just as good as sleeping in your bed.

So, how do you pick that perfect recliner? First thing you always have to think about with recliners and furniture is how long do you plan to have it and how much are going to use it? Because if it’s going to be YOUR chair for a long time that’s used every night then price can’t be the driving force. It’s called an investment so price is third on the list.

First on the list is, unfortunately, size. You have to measure your room. If it don’t fit, you can’t sit. If you have a small room or an apartment then your choices are limited. So space is your first step.

Second step is comfort. This is the chair that you will pass out on every night so it has to be very comfortable. Try out every recliner in the stores and they’re like shoes. You will know the very moment you sit in it. No exceptions. Don’t think that you can mold it to your tush or make it comfortable over time. That could happen but don’t take the chance. Try every recliner and the one recliner to rule them all will be felt the moment you kurplunk in it when shopping.

Price. Now price comes into play. Recliners can be expensive. While this is third in the priority line, it’s still a factor. And, you’d be amazed how affordable good recliners can be .

Style and color. Recliners have an image of being the elephant in the room but not anymore. There are so many styles, colors, sizes that all are comfortable.

Nifty features. Recliners have come a long way, baby. Massage thingamijiggies in them. Full reclining positions. Adjustable head sets. Rocking and/or Gliding. Built in speakers, drink holders, ice cooler hidden inside, etc. And, some even can be easily disassembled for storage and moving.

Biggest tip is to SHOP AROUND. There are so many different brands and styles that the perfect one that fits all of the above exists. You just have to find ’em. Researching on the Internet is a great start but (pun intended) your butt in the actual chair is the final word.

Hello?! It’s football season which means it’s ‘man cave’ season. If you have not created your testosterone-topia yet or need to update then here are the basics.

1. Ultra HD TV Set. If you haven’t made the leap then now may be the time. The price of 4K Ultra HD TVs are becoming affordable. Programming is catching up more and more especially in the sports arena. So, go man cave-ing for a new 4K TV.

2. More HD TV sets. Use that old HD TV you just replaced as your secondary TV in the man cave. You can watch the big game on 4K then have the other TV on the other games so as not to waste any precious time changing channels. Go the extra man cave extreme and have one TV dedicated to the Internet to monitor your fantasy football players and matches without having to waste energy moving your head to a computer screen.

3. Comfy Couch and Recliner. Again, you may need more than just one of each as you invite your fellow knuckle-dragging pack over to scream at the TV with you. Make sure you test the furniture out first. Remember, these are the items you will be passing out on so make sure it’s the best.

4. Sturdy coffee tables and end tables. You’ll be putting a lot of beer pressure on those and will be the TV remote pedestal. Smart man cavers specifically get coffee tables a different color than the remotes. Again, it’s all about not wasting time moving your neck away from the TV screen. An easily findable remote lessens those precious moments and muscle moving during the game. It also needs to be sturdy to withstand fists slamming into it after your team throws an interception.

5. Refrigerator. One of those mini sized ones are fine but, come on, let’s get real. With a full size, you can stock up on all kinds of beers and wine. Yes. I said it – wine. Wine and football can go together. Even Cro-magnons can have an elevated sense of taste. The rest of the space inside the refrigerator, if there is any, is up to your imagination. And, I will not mention vegetables. I drew the line at wine. It’s still a man cave, dagnabbit!

6. Microwave. Gotta pop some popcorn or microwave some pizza bites. Those are kind of amateur, though. What you really need is a grill where you do it right with burgers, sausage wraps and barbecue.

7. Xbox, PS3 or Wii. Gotta do something when your team has a bye week. Duh. There’s also the other season known as “off season” where you can fill in by playing a little John Madden football.

8. Soundbar. You gonna want to hear their bones breaking and helmets crashing. Again, if you’re a true man caver then a surround sound system is the way to go.

8. Laptop/tablet/smart phone. Fantasy football updates or, better yet, skyping your friends who couldn’t cave with you because they live in a different town or are married.

9. Lamps. What?!!! You’re kidding, right. It’s called a cave for a reason.

Here are some extras for the man-cave snob.

10. An oven. It’s called Chilli. Gotta have burners to cook that dish.

11. Pool table. That’s for the twitchy guy who can’t just sit down and relax during the game.

I think that’s it. Remember, your local rent to own store fits every man cave item you need. Rent TVs just for football season or for ‘that game’. With rent to own you can try before you buy to make sure that couch is the ‘one’ couch to rule them all. Remember rent to own means rent first then, if you choose, buy so you’re never obligated to buy or make the next payment and no penalty for calling them to come pick it up

Oh! And they deliver. Man caving is about creating a kingdom. With RTO, you have servants. If any of your digital-kabobs are on the fritz during your rental, they’ll come out and fix it or give you a loaner while fixing it for free.

If you want to outright purchase but can’t afford some of these items, you can find the best used deals at rent to own stores. Most men don’t care if things are used or new. They just care they work. Or rent to own them but make sure you use the early purchase option, 90 days same as cash and rent for the least amount of time. The less payments, the less cost. And, again, your credit is never in jeopardy nor debt ever extended. Man cave and RTO can go knuckle in knuckle.

Whether you’re a football fanatic, a supportive partner or a pigskin naysayer feeling the buzz of the season is nearly impossible to circumvent. With game days outweighing non-game days and multiple games simultaneously aired on end the social gatherings that have cultivated around the sport come as no surprise. Whether you’re in it for the title of “Ultimate Champion” of your Fantasy Football League, to exemplify the culinary art of grilling or for the mere allure to the sport and all its traditions it’s true that finding the best place to hangout is crucial but creating one can be easy too.

Here’s our lineup for making your space game-day headquarters.

The Big Screen.

While a TV is fundamental for any game day space, having a main area of focus is as important with so many games going on at once. With that said, multiple screens in your space will truly make your guests feel like royalty upon crossing the threshold of your entryway. Having a variety of viewing options doesn’t always have to break the bank, keep in mind that streaming or syncing computer screens or tablets work just as well.

The Fridge.

Watching action packed sports definitely works up an appetite. Be sure to have a fully stocked fridge with plenty of room for drinks and snacks that your party goers are surely to bring along. If you’re into draft beer, and let’s be honest, who isn’t? There’s a plethora of knowledge on how to build your very own kegerator out of a mini-fridge with just a few key strokes on the web.

The Kickback.

Have your guests escape the realm of reality the second their tails hit the bench with accommodating and comfy seating. Whether you have a sectional couch, recliners, tufted stools or beanbag chairs we can all agree that having a cozy place to kickback and relax is essential to these, oftentimes, all day events.

The Parlor Games.

Although football takes center stage providing guests with alternative entertainment makes for a lively shindig. Darts, beer pong, poker, pool, etc. are all party favorites and allow for a good stretch of the limbs or some healthy competitive release.

Football enthusiasts and social butterflies will consider your place destination game day. And keep in mind, if you’re preparing for the real big game and want to bring in the big guns, go to your local rent to own store and pickup what you need for the grand event.

Now grab something to nosh or imbibe because it’s game time and there’s no escaping it.

Have family and friends coming over for Thanksgiving or staying at your home? If so, the time to start thinking about their accommodations is now. If you need extra furniture, new furniture or something just for those days you’ll be hosting your guests, think about rent to own stores.

Remember the first word in rent to own is rent. Most Americans don’t realize that rent to own stores rent furniture, appliances, HDTVs, computer gaming systems, computers and much more. You rent them for the time you need then the rent to own guys come by and take them away.

Regarding just rentals, some good ideas are computer gaming systems and an extra HDTV. Especially when you have a group of kids that need to be entertained and occupied while the adults catch up on their lives or re-live those old memories. Another quick rental would be bunk beds for extra guests. Or stand alone freezers if you have too many turkeys.

Then there’s the ‘try before you buy’ option rent to own offers. If you were looking to upgrade your dining room table, couch or recliner. Try it out with the guests in town. You’ll be able to make the house and guests more comfortable with new furniture. If you end up liking them, then keep them. If not, then have the rent to own store pick them up.

Buy new home furnishings for the guests. Sometimes it takes a get together to finally push yourself to buying new home furniture, appliances and HDTVs. With rent to own, like said before, you can try before you buy but if ownership is what you’re looking for then calculate payments in the best possible strategy. The less payments, the less the total cost.

And use their ’90 days same as cash’ option. Some go up to ‘180 days same as cash’. That means if you can make payments within 90 days, the total cost is close to retail and all the time you still get the debt free, no obligation feature that keeps you out of the legal obligation that credit cards put you in.

Remember, the rent to own stores will deliver and set up everything you rent or rent to own so that is a great feature. They will always fix the item beyond the warranty if you’re on the ownership track.

The rent to own transaction has so many benefits that most people don’t realize. And when they do, they’re always surprised that fits in their budget and lifestyle. Always shop around with the many rent to own stores in your neighborhood. Each store has different specialties or sales so make sure you do your homework prior.

Are you ready for the Superbowl TV watching party? Do you have a big enough TV to accommodate all of those Seahawks and Patriots fans? Did you inflate your kegs and refrigerators to the proper pressure to avoid violating party policies?

If not, call up your local rent to own store and rent that TV today. You get it for a week anyway so rent it today so you’re guaranteed to have it. Your local rent to own stores will deliver and set it up for you and then pick it up next week.

If you like it then keep renting it or just buy it outright. Use the 90-day same as cash and save a bundle. Since you’ve already tried it then you’ll know if you like it. Great aspect of the rent to own transaction is to try before you buy.

If you don’t have enough room in your refrigerator for all of those bottles, cans and party favorites, have them deliver a new fridge as well. Upgrade all in one fell swoop. Then you’ll need a new couch for the guests and a recliner and, heck, an entire new house full of furniture.

OK. Getting a little out of hand here. This is an article reminding Superbowl party hosts they have the option to rent the big screen for the big game from their local rent to own store. Rent to own are rentals first with the ownership option which many people do not realize. So don’t feel obligated when going rent to own. So upgrade your Sunday party in just one phone call and they’ll do the rest.

More and more people are crawling in bed and… working. Working?! Studies show that nearly 1/2 of Americans like to work on their laptops or tablets in their bed. Those working on their computers in bed need the right equipment to make sure they are the most comfortable and that are not a pain in the back and neck – literally. There are several different items that you can get so make sure you google “working in bed” to find the actual products. But, here are some of the basics that will steer you to your best choice.

You can always buy the old fashioned bedroom tray that has been traditionally used to ‘eating breakfast in bed’ or another simple product is an ergonomically built pillow to place your laptop on. Don’t use your sleeping pillow as its not steady and should be used for back support. You can find many different types for different prices. Some can be as simple as $10 but mostly are around $30. The next level is lap trays with a hard cover and soft underneath. Those tend to be in the $30 to $100 range.

Then you can get real fancy and actually buy furniture with a fold out tray to set your computer. Some are roll-out drawers that have hidden pop-up trays and others are stand-alone. Those can get up to $200+ range. Another advanced ‘working in bed’ furniture is a pillow recliner that you set on your bed and keeps you upright and comfy all together. Those also can get up to the $200+ range.

If you are to work in bed, though, you need to follow these simple guidelines. Working in bed can upset your sleeping pattern and ultimately undermine all of the work you just accomplished. Unplug your computer at least 45 minutes prior to going to sleep and remove your computer from your bedroom. You want to make sure you associate your bedroom as a place of relaxation rather than as your office.

If you work in bed then you’re in good company as so did Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Renee Descartes to name just a few.
